Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch

- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Newton Valence
Is Newton Valence close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
We can serve each shift in turn.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
